Design and impact of the ankle foot orthosis on gait for the hemiplegic patients
INTRODUCTION: Two-thirds of those suffering a cerebral vascular accident (CVA) survive, with approximately half of those being left with physical incapacity [1]. Hemiplegic patients with cerebral vascular lesion, present a clinical picture which combines a variety of motor, sensory, visual and cognitive defects. These defects typically lead to disturbances of the gait cycle, characterised by ch...
متن کاملThe Effect of Rocker Bar Ankle Foot Orthosis on Functional Mobility in Post-Stroke Hemiplegic Patients
Objectives: Ankle Foot Orthoses (AFOs) are widely utilized to improve walking ability in hemiplegic patients. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of Rocker bar Ankle Foot Orthosis (RAFO) on functional mobility in post-stroke hemiplegic patients. Methods: Fifteen hemiplegic patients (men and women) who were at least 6-months post-stroke and able to walk without assistive device for...
متن کاملGait improvement of hemiplegic patients using an ankle-foot orthosis with assistance of heel rocker function.
The ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) with oil damper, GaitSolution (GS), was previously developed to make heel rocker function possible during the gait of hemiplegic patients. To clarify the characteristics of patients who show adaptation to GS use, a questionnaire was completed by the clinicians responsible for 99 patients with hemiplegia who participated in this study. Clinicians completed items con...
متن کاملImmediate synergistic effect of a trunk orthosis with joints providing resistive force and an ankle–foot orthosis on hemiplegic gait
Purpose The synergistic effects of a trunk orthosis and an ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) in stroke patients with a hemiplegic gait are unclear. We previously developed a trunk orthosis with joints providing resistive force (TORF) to modify malalignment of the trunk and pelvis and confirmed its positive effects in stroke patients during level walking without an AFO. The aim of the present study was ...
